Talk:Battle of the Frogs

Number of frog statues
How many statues of frogs are there at the bridge?

Early in the article, we read, ‘known as the "Frog Bridge" for the four enormous copper frogs that perch at each corner.’ Most likely, “each end” is meant, and that would give eight. I myself think of bridges’ having indeed four corners, i.e., two at each end, as in a phrase such as “the SW corner of the bridge.” That would give sixteen, but I am no pontifex.

Later in the article, we read, “The bridge….features four 11-foot (3.4 m) tall copper frogs atop giant concrete spools on either side of the bridge.” Does that give eight again?

Retracting slightly my remark about pontifex, I build the bridge in my imagination with four frogs in total.

Thanks to the people who produced the article. Entertaining.

 * Nor a pontifex am I. It should be four frogs, total. Manny, Willy, Windy and Swifty. I've adjusted the wording, hopefully lifting that fog of uncertainty. gobonobo  + c 05:55, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
